Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed rear extension, by reason of its location/siting, and excessive
depth would create a detrimental impact against the occupiers of the adjoining
property at No.25 by virtue of overshadowing a basement window which
serves a habitable room to their property, and general loss of outlook and an
increase sense of enclosure and tunneling effect.
2
The proposed rear extension, by reason of its siting, design, scale and
projected depth will significantly reduce the occupants private amenity areas
and is therefore considered an overdevelopment of the site which will
adversely impact on occupant amenities.
3
The proposed development, by reason of its layout and private amenity
areas will fail to provide satisfactory standard of living accommodation for its
future occupiers. The layout at basement level will fail to provide any outlook,
dual aspect, or adequate levels of natural light to its occupants whilst the
amenity areas at the front and rear are considered cramped and
unacceptable.
Reason: The proposed development falls contrary to policies LP1, LP2, LP17
and LP19 of the LP33 Hackney Local Plan 2020 and Policies 3.5 and 7.6 of
the London Plan 2016 (as amended) and guidance contained within the
Mayor’s Housing SPG (2016) and ’NPPF’ 2019 (as amended).
4
The proposed side/rear extension and introduction of a basement, by
reason of its location/siting, and excessive depth would represent an
incompatible and uncharacteristic addition to the detriment of the character
and appearance of the host property and the streetscene.
5
Insufficient information has been submitted on drainage given its location in
a critical drainage area. Given the expansive areas set to be developed and
hard-surfaced, which in the absence of a drainage plan or SUDS
detail/compliance the development poses a flood risk concern.
Reason: The proposed development falls contrary to policies LP53 of the
LP33 Hackney Local Plan 2020 and Policy 5.13 of the London Plan 2016 (as
amended) and guidance contained within the ’NPPF’ 2019 (as amended).
6
The proposed development has failed to provide adequate amounts of safe
and secure cycle storage areas.
Reason: The proposed development falls contrary to policies LP42 and LP45
of the LP33 Hackney Local Plan 2020 and Policy 6.9 of the London Plan 2016
(as amended) and guidance contained within the ’NPPF’ 2019 (as amended).
